What A Beautiful Daydream

Too Quick To Judge

Well I thought  that since I had
had a bad experience with
the daffodils being not what was
pictured on the package, I thought these
would turn out the same. A week ago
they were bright yellow and as
the week has progressed they have indeed  turned
to orange. 

Getting Some Sun

When the days are warm, today is around 60 degrees,
 these little seedlings need some
fresh air and sunshine. I will close them back up in
the evening as it still gets into the 30s and 40s. I
have to watch them closely to make sure
they don't dry out when the lids are open.

The tulip package.
The tulips below have no orange on them
at all. I'm disappointed once again. Won't
be buying anymore bulbs from the big
box store.

They are a pretty yellow. This is the second
day in bloom.

Third day in bloom.

Winter Sowing

I am trying out winter sowing. I chose the milk jug method. I have started out

with leeks, carrots, spinach, bell peppers and hollyhocks. For more on

winter sowing this is a very helpful link:

Tulips are peeking through. 

  

I took coleus, last fall,  from my garden to keep them
alive in the house during the winter months and then will
replant them this spring.
